Centering Knife Jig KJ-45 - Tormek

Tormek KJ-45 – Centering Knife Jig

The Tormek KJ-45 is the classic knife jig for the Tormek sharpening machine.

It is designed to keep the knife stable during sharpening and ensure you get the same angle on both sides of the edge – without needing to adjust along the way.

When you clamp the knife, the jig centers the blade automatically. This means you get an even and consistent result, whether you’re working with a thin knife or a heavier bushcraft knife.

The KJ-45 knife jig covers most needs and works for the vast majority of knives:

• Kitchen knives
• Hunting knives
• Outdoor knives
• Small utility knives

Used together with the Tormek T-4 Bushcraft sharpening machine, you get a stable setup where the knife is guided smoothly over the sharpening stone. This makes it easier to work precisely and achieve a sharp edge.

It’s a solution that works equally well for regular maintenance and more thorough sharpening – and you get a professional and durable result every time.

Accessories for your Tormek sharpening machine

The KJ-45 is a good starting point, and if you later need to work with other types of knives, you can easily expand:

• For long and flexible knives like fillet knives, there is a wider model that provides extra support (KJ-140) - find it here
• For very small knives, you can use a holder that clamps the handle instead (SVM-00) - find it here

There are many different tools and accessories for sharpening knives and axes on your Tormek sharpening machine. You can find them all here.
